Nikita Kucherov on 126 point pace and on his way to another Art Ross

[T REX]

the McDavid era? Does he have a cup?

Kucherov is at the moment the best offensive player in the NHL. He may skate slower but he is the better playmaker and shooter. He is now in his 30ies and no signs of slowing down. With McDavid we are not so sure, is it the beginning of a decline from a high level or will he rebound to 1.7-1.8ppg next year?

Lightning fan here...McDavid is generational...Kuch is making a case at being generational...he's close...underrated for sure...and I think his game will age well as it is not based in speed or power but guile.

Kucherov up by a point, despite not taking the EN shot earlier on that almost cost Tampa the game

Of all the choices, that was one of them.

I was laughing my ass off. Assist merchant.

 

[LightningStrikes]

4th point and (temporary) lead in points now.

Even though he reeeally didn’t want the ENP apparently lol.

 

[Nadal On Clay]

4 points for Kucherov. Let’s see what MacKinnon has in store now.

What a mensch. Didn't want to be propped up like DueKinnon.

Kucherov has generational hockey IQ and can be argued as a generational player, depending of your definition. He’s also one of the best half-board powerplay players of all time, if not the best.

I think Kuch will win the Art Ross. MacKinnon has been running out of steam the last 10ish games.

I f***ing hate that motherf***er but ain't be a f***ing animal, hats off.

 

[JoVel]

That last shift was one of the dumbest things I've ever watched.

 

[ViD]

What a mad lad

Also, thanks for not going to OT with the Isles

Reminded me of last year's skill competition lol

He was either trolling both teams at the same time or just had a major brain fart. Pretty weird sequence for a player who reads the game so well. Not sure what he was seeing or expecting that made him not shoot the puck.

Most seasons with 50+ primary assists, NHL history

• 15x - Gretzky
• 7x - Lemieux
• 4x - McDavid, Oates, Savard
• 3x - Coffey, Hawerchuk, Kucherov, Thornton
• 2x - Clarke, Dionne, Esposito, Federko, Gilmour, Lafleur, Trottier, Yzerman

Kucherov recorded his 50th primary assist of the season just now. He's the only winger in NHL history with three seasons with 50+ primary assists.

 

[Paxton Fettel]

Race is tied

 

[Greatzsky 99]

9 games left for Kuch and Nate. Drai is 99% out of it. My bet Kuch

Wayne with more seasons than McD Oates Kuch and Thornton. Sick

Back to back 4 point nights? MacKinnon better pick the pace up!

 

[Tralfamadore]

Ya gotta give it to him. Probably going to win the AR.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Can they just give him the Hart already?

 

[The Macho King]

Too many empty net points.

I agree but I have Mario Lemieux first on the half board, and Kucherov second all time.

Kucherov is so smooth out there...incredible like Mario

 

[Signupnow]

Does he not have a few games in hand as well ?

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

Empty net goals are for p***yes
